Top Tips of 2018

Our Healthy Women of 2018 Awards competition is done and dusted, and over the next few months we’ll be featuring some of our winners and finalists. There are some amazing transformations and inspiring stories amongst these women.

We don’t want to announce the winners just yet – that honour is going to the centres where the members belong – so this week we’d like to bring you some of the Top Tips shared by our entrants. Some of these tips might be blindingly obvious to you, yet a complete “light bulb” moment for someone else. Let us know which tip means the most for you.

“Don’t give up. You will have days or even periods of time where you allow negative speak enter your mind, or you give yourself an excuse for making a specific food choice or choosing not to do that walk, class or circuit. However, you must remember that you are worth it and it is an investment in yourself, and for your friends and family, if you make the time for exercise, attending check-ins and making good food choices and allowing time to plan and prepare your meals and snacks.”

Wendy Legge, Prospect, SA
